Hah, it's funny how much he praised it without pointing out all the shit that was wrong with it. Those SOHC engines really are gutless, but he's right about typical Honda 'rev the shit out of them and keep going' design at least. And those transmissions are geared so ridiculously that even with a gutless motor they still feel fast.

You know what I've driven. Or you should, anyway, since it's a fairly short list. Plus there's the fact that I have no clue what that chassis code is. So let's go with 'no' and stick with 'holy shit the final drive on the Integra is 4.266:1 what the hell'.

Honda transmissions are pretty bulletproof at stock power levels, and imported transmissions generally haven't been abused as badly as local ones. If the cost difference between rebuilding and replacing is significant, I would personally go with replacing instead.

Though the automatics on B-series engines are basically manual transmissions inside so they're good too.

Funnily enough, it's the same with the J-series engines, which got - you guessed it - BAXAs and B7XAs. What killed them was Honda's attempt at fixing their "automatic manuals"' penchant for shifting a bit more harshly than traditional autos by designing them to partially engage the next gear a bit before the actual shift, which made shifts smoother but naturally ate the shit out of the clutch packs, resulting in the infamous recall of that era (which they never actually fixed).

This also disproves the old rumor that it was only the V6s that had tranny issues, as the I4s had them too.
